Why do you think recycling is important?

Listen. Do the World a Favor and Stop Recycling. The CARBON FOOTPRINTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT is Huge compared to regular trash collection. Besides...there is currently a National Trend moving away from Recycling Habits as it is not cost efficient and In Reality...just doesn't make good sense.

Yes because recycling everyday even if it is just two or three cans or bottles it will save the ozone layer.

recycling is NO WHERE near as important as re-using think of the energy and rescorces needed to break down items back to the raw materials and the re manufacture into another product

Recycling is the least important of the three actions: reduce, reuse (which is what free cycle is mostly about!) and recycling. BY FAR the most important of these is REDUCE the amount of raw material used by reducing the number and amount of goods purchased. How to save the planet? - STOP SHOPPING.
